LightPro is an easy-to-use tool for placing and editing luminaires within rooms in the <VE> 3D building model, and for managing databases of luminaires and lamps. Once luminaires have been placed, you can use FlucsPro to perform lighting analyses to investigate lighting levels on the working plane or any other surface in the room. You can also use RadianceIES software to perform sophisticated 3D lighting simulations, generating glare or lux information and high quality images.
What LightPro does:
LightPro allows you to place luminaires within rooms in the <VE> model for subsequent lighting analyses using FlucsPro, or for lighting simulations using RadianceIES. LightPro contains a large database of luminaires and lamps, and also enables you to add or import other luminaire data. You can:
- place arrays of luminaires anywhere within a room in the <VE> building model
- place individual luminaires within a room
- move a luminaire once it has been placed
- edit placed luminaires, allowing you to mix types of luminaires within a room
- rotate and point luminaires in any direction (eg. spotlights)
- define a ceiling grid for the placement of luminaires
- select luminaires and lamps from a standard database, an extended database, or your own specific database
- view and edit databases of luminaires and lamps
- choose which database you wish to see
- add your own luminaires to the database by importing photometric data electronically, or by editing data for an existing luminaire
- use the placed luminaires for subsequent lighting analyses using FlucsPro, or for lighting simulations using RadianceIES.
Commercial Benefits:
Productivity - LightPro gives you one common tool for placing luminaires within rooms in the <VE> building model for subsequent use either by FlucsPro or RadianceIES. This ‘commonality’ will simplify and speed up data preparation for lighting engineers.
